SS 1500 Pro

SS 1500 PRO CANVAS STRETCHING SYSTEM

The 1500 PRO system stretcher bars are available in different lengths ranging from 8 inches to 60 inches, packed in boxes of 8 bars, perfect for medium and large format printers . The stretcher bars are also designed to be cut and re-assembled allowing for odd sizes and lengths beyond 60″. The 1500 PRO stretcher bar provides a depth of 1 ½”.

Our stretcher bars are made from the best grades of North American basswood. This is the wood of choice for most museum quality stretcher bars due to its stability, low resin and lignin content. The wood is kiln dried to a moisture content below 8% which will insure that there will be no warp or shrinkage after the canvas is applied to the stretcher frame. We only buy from sawmills that use sustainable forest practises.

High quality adhesive tape eliminates the need for stretching pliers making stretching a gallery wrapped canvas a snap.

Tensioners fit into place to allow for more tension that produces a drumlike feel to the canvas.

U shaped fasteners allow the canvas to fold into the miter of the stretcher frame creating neat and perfectly folded corners.

Reusable patented clamps ensure perfectly square stretcher frames while keeping the adhesive tape from touching the canvas.
They make centring the stretcher assembly on the canvas easy by simply lining up the edges of the corners to the edge of the canvas.

Use the pro joiner to create custom sizes. Match the stretcher frame to the image and not the other way around. Create wraps larger then 60″.

Opening in the corner makes it easy to centre the stretcher assembly to the canvas if you are not wrapping the image around the sides.
